I’m 24. I swear.

Michael was working last night and since I didn’t have anything planned, I decided to relax on the couch and watch some TV. Turns out there’s nothing that really sparks my interest on Thursday night, so I was flipping the channels. For some reason I stopped on the Disney Channel. At the very start of High School Musical. Ever head of it? The story follows a jock and a math geek who really liked each other and want to audition for the school play. They can both sing really well, but are afraid of what their friends will think. The best part of the movie is that they’re always breaking out into song and dance.

People, I watched the whole damn thing. All two hours of it. The number one grossing movie for kids ages 6-14? I watched it. It wasn’t good. It was bad. Soooo bad. Yet addicting. They even had the lyrics written out on the bottom of the screen and holy hell was I actually singing along? “Why am I feeling so wrong/My head’s in the game/But my heart’s in the song.”

Here’s what I really don’t get. Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale. Am I the only one who’s freaked out by Zach’s alien face and Ashley’s giant hair?

During the movie, there was a running countdown of how many hours were left until the premiere of High School Musical 2. When I turned off the television we were at 22 hours and counting.

Don’t worry, we all do things that make us feel young again. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that! Who wants to grow up and be all “adult” and stuff? ew.

Just yesterday the girls at work were making fun of me for eating like a 5 year old. When I pack my lunch I always have so called “little kid” food. Little debbie snacks, yogurt or applesauce, fruit, mac & cheese or PB & J. Yes I’m 25, but I eat like a 5 year old. Get over it. 🙂

I’m 25 and I still watch cartoons/disney movies (my personal favorite? Moto-crossed… there I said it!), and I am like Michelle and I pack my lunch (which could easily be confused with a fifth grader’s lunch). I think it is great to not be “too adult”- after all, I look back at the freedom of my childhood years with a fond smile on my face!

I totally got sucked into watching the whole thing last week! They didn’t have the words to the songs running along the bottom. Good thing too I totally would have broke out into tone-deaf song. Oh yeah and i’m 26 and love some of the shows on the disney channel. (Have a serious Hannah Montana addiction lately) Ok i’ve told too much.

I’ve been totally intrigued by all the hoopla surrounding this High School Musical thing (initially I thought it was a movie, like an in-the-theaters movie and then I was like REALLY? TV MOVIE?). Sometimes it’s good to have a little cheese on a Thursday night, eh?

And, yeah, I still watch cartoons. Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends is a favorite; I actually DVR it.

I read The Princess Diaries (as in the books, not the movies). I just kept telling myself that it would be a good book for my daughter to read some day (and um, I don’t have a daughter or anything incubating yet). 😛

hahahaha! oh molly…i’m also guilty as charged for enjoying the utter cheesiness of High School Musical…as you saw it mentioned in my “i love musicals” bit! yesss so good to know I’m not alone in the sing along department!!

I’ve only seen the second half so I didn’t really get it. But good lord do I want to see the first half. Secretly, only. But I can’t bring myself to actually go rent it. And I don’t have tv. Maybe I’ll get netflix so it can be more anon.

A couple of weeks ago I also somehow got sucked in to watching it. And, I too thought it was a movie theater movie, with all the hype and all. It was HORRIBLE! There are good movies on the Disney Channel sometimes but that wasn’t one of them.

I was in complete agreement with you about Zac until I saw the cover of Rolling Stone. He looks very fine there. Haha. But the truth is that if you read the article, you realize that he is the most boring person in the world. What else did I expect from a Disney star?

I just find that prime time network TV bores me. and if people start liking shows and quote dialog—well, nothing turns me off faster.

And that Ephron kid? Born in a pod, I swear to God!!!

PS….I also hate people who are late and those with B.O. AND those with pronounced white or black heads anywhere visible on the face. How can anyone sane person NOT know that a Mount Ranier is festering on the side of their nose???????

I haven’t seen either of those High School Musicals but I was watching the Disney Channel ‘The Suite Life of Zach and Cody” when there were ONLY 8 hours and 22 minutes remaining until the premiere of HSM2 AHHHHHHH! I was pumped 🙂 not really though. but I will make sure to snap some photos of the HSM parade in Disney for you. You can start counting down now!

It’s oddly addicting. You’re right, it is a terrible movie… terrible. But when high school musical 2 came out, you betcha did I watch it. Damn it if I’m not a sucker for singing and dancing in unison.
It just reminds me of newsies… is there anything better than newsies?
